CUSTOM IRONWORK & AWNING SERVICES

Iron Handrails, Custom Awnings, Fencing, Gates, and Automation for Distinctive Properties

Sunshield Iron designs, fabricates, and installs custom ironwork and awning systems for homeowners, builders, contractors, businesses, property owners, developers, and commercial project teams.

Custom Craftsmanship with Commercial-Grade Discipline

From handrails and custom awnings to fencing, gates, automation, and specialty fabrication, every service is shaped around the architecture, function, and requirements of the property.

A legacy of useful beauty

Purposeful Custom Work, Made for Daily Use

The best custom work does more than define a boundary, provide shade, or meet a code requirement. It improves how a property functions, how safely it is used, and how confidently it presents itself.

Sunshield Iron brings more than five decades of fabrication experience to handrails, guardrails, awnings, fencing, custom gates, driveway gate automation, commercial scopes, and specialty ironwork.

01 / Iron Handrails

Custom Handrails That Feel Integrated, Not Added On

Sunshield Iron creates interior and exterior handrails, guardrails, stair rails, porch rails, and balcony rail systems with clean proportions and durable construction. Each design is shaped around the property’s architecture, safety requirements, and intended use, delivering secure access with a polished finish.

02 / CUSTOM AWNINGS

Custom Awnings Built for Shade, Protection, and Architectural Fit

Sunshield’s roots began with custom awnings, and that experience remains an important part of the company today. We design, fabricate, and install awnings for homes, storefronts, offices, entries, patios, windows, walkways, and other exterior spaces. Each system is planned around the property, intended coverage, structural requirements, and desired appearance, creating a durable solution that adds comfort, protection, and visual definition.

Custom Design and Finish

03 / CUSTOM IRON FENCING

Elegant Fencing for Privacy, Security, and Curb Appeal

Custom iron fencing gives a property definition without making it feel closed off. Sunshield designs iron fence panels, estate fencing, pool-area fencing, and perimeter solutions for clients who want security with a refined visual presence. Each fencing project can be tailored to the scale of the property and landscape.

A custom gate sets the tone before anyone reaches the entry. Sunshield designs and fabricates driveway gates, pedestrian gates, garden gates, estate entries, and coordinated gate-and-fence systems built for both function and architectural fit.

Driveway gates

Swing and sliding gate options for residential, commercial, and private property entries.

Pedestrian gates

Garden, courtyard, walkway, side-yard, and controlled access points.
